If it's real, this would be the Chinese government interference again.

wouldn't the patent eliminate all worries of stealing any part of the design? i can understand the govt wanting to hide some things, but in this case it seems they'd want to lock every little piece of it down for themselves.

Just like the Nuclear industry has no Agenda. You're going to be hard pressed to find any information outlet that doesn't have some sort of Agenda. Not all articles I've linked have been from Nuclear watchdog groups, just like not all have been from supposed Liberal or Conservative sites, or from US or Austrian. It's just information.

I do know your agenda however, seeing as how you work in a Nuclear plant.

It's not "just information". Most of your sources are pure fiction chosing to present opinions in the most negative manner possible. It's sad that so many buy their misinformation. If these same mentalities had been applied across all industries, we'd still travel by horse and buggy, auto and air travel having been abandonned long ago.
